Indian Football


Indian Football team are on a Tour to Portugal and they have fixtures against four 2nd division sides.. Till now Indians have drawn the 1st game and won the other 2 wid our established football wizard Bhaichung Bhutia scoring 4 goals till now...
I was so happy to see our national football team has finally started winning games abroad.. under the high profile English coach Bob Houghton... whts disheartening is none of the newspapers or news channels are highlighting our wins.. Bhutia n company cud only manage a maximum of approx. 4*4 block in most of the newspapers. This is the state of all sports in India except cricket ... For tht matter even International football news have a more than half page story...Its media's job to make the sports like football n hockey popular, If they give more coverage, add sum lucrative contests, give prize tickets for the game n all, I dnt see ny problem selling a game...
I mean ya here in India, we all like English premier League, Spanish La Liga, or the Champions League, and Im also a big big Fan of English Club Arsenal, but im not able to connect wid those players tht well as i can for any Indian team , may it be cricket , Football or the once so popular Hockey.... How great wud be if one day we had a Indian League which becomes popular worldwide, i mean like the English n Spanish clubs they have fan clubs all over the world...
I just hope one day like Arsenal, Mancheshter United, Chelsea n all Even Indian Clubs like East Bengal, Mohun Bagan , Mahindra United, Dempol reach Great heights and International Status....
Chak de India!!!! Keep it up... Ab Manzil door nai!!!

I agree with you....the media cld concentrate more on such games...than sticking on to cricket all the time...as if it the only game Indians play..
